Park Fun

My happy girl practicing her ABC's
 Being silly on the swing!
 Check out Olivia!  This child is so determined to do the things she wants to do. 





Sisters!

I love this so much especially because we didn't pose them like this. 
They do this on their own.  And I love it!

She got mail!

Natalie & a couple of her friends have been writing letters & sending pictures back & forth lately.  She loves getting things in the mail from her friends & also loves making pictures & writing letters to send back to them.  Nana & Papa took a week golfing vacation recently & sent a post card.  Here's Natalie's reaction!

I know this pic is blurry... but I don't care.  Love her happy reaction to her postcard!

Cheeky Bean!

I usually give warnings to the girls when I am trying to finish up one activity and move on to something else.  For example, I say "You have five more minutes of play time before it's time for bath."  With Olivia I usually say "One more time before we..." (bath, stories, bed, etc)
This is her being cheeky & asking for something one more time ;)
 And, then her serious face.  This baby cracks me up!

Playing Babies

Olivia loves to play with babies.  Her favorite thing is to put them in the stroller & push them around the hous or outside.  She gets very frustrated when they fall out but she won't let us help her strap them in.  It's pretty funny to see her developing into such an independent little girl.

I love this action shot with her arms full.  This is so typical.  She has to have three bottles for her baby & she has to carry them all herself.

Golden Gate Park

 We took a day trip to the "city" as Natalie likes to call it and took the girls to the playgroud in Golden Gate Park to play.  But first we stopped for some much needed refueling at a cupcake shop. 

Daddy grabbed a picture of Natalie enjoying hers.
 "Cheese"
 Having fun!
 the super cool spinning cups
 Love this one!
Here's the super cool cement slide
 on the swings

A special note for our detailed oriented friends... We stayed at the park for quite a while and it was warm when we got there & it gradually got cooler... that is why you will notice some outfit changes :) AND, blogger just changed something on me & my pictures got all mixed up in order. I didn't want to deal with it so I just left them kind of mixed up.  Enjoy!

This makes me smile...

Precious!

Note to self...

Having TWO of everything = happy play time :)

Coloring

Love their faces when they are concentrating :)

(by the way... Olivia + pens = danger!  This only happens under close supervision!)

Cheeky!

Evenings...




Such a girly girl!

Olivia loves to put on any jewelry she can find.  She usually collects it all and then puts every piece on.

This girl loves rainbow!

She dressed herself this morning & put on two articles of rainbow clothing.  They really don't go together but I just let them "match" today because she was so happy with her outfit.

Sisters...

She was being pulled around...
 ... by her!

Her Own Way

Miss Olivia is a pretty independent girl already.  This is how she decided she wanted to vacuum.

Too cute!
